On vacation in Laos

After
arriving in Vientiane I wasn’t really sure where to go next, I wanted to see
the north part but didn’t feel like riding up there and back again the same
way. But I like Laos and wanted to stay here for a while, so I decided to for
the first time leave my bicycle and get on a bus. So with almost no time frame
I got on a bus and headed up north. I stayed a couple of days in Vang Vieng
then up to Luang Prabang where I got stuck for 11 days just because I met so
many nice people and such a good time that I didn’t want to leave. It’s also a beautiful
place with an amazing waterfall and a great location along the Mekong River.
After those 11 days passed by fast the people I had been hanging out with went
down to Vang Vieng and since I didn’t have any rush to leave Laos I also
stopped by there again, this time for 4 more awesome days. These twee weeks was
exactly what I needed, a break from cycling and just relax and have fun with
other backpackers. Here’s some photos from the trip..

I’m back in
Vientiane and back with my bike again. The plan for the next weeks is to head
into Thailand and ride towards Cambodia.
